I recently had a bite plate made for me by Dr. Shemali. She recommended that I have one made after a recent cleaning. I have had severe headaches and strain around my entire jaw area which would not go away, even during the day. The amount of discomfort I had been living with for the last 10 years was driving me nuts. I have tried various remedies including acupuncture, Tylenol's, and a full mouth bite plate (made for me by another dentist). None helped. The specialized plate that Dr. Shemali made for me covers my front teeth only - and keeps my back teeth from touching - I wear it at night while I sleep. I can not tell you how nice it is to not wake up with a headache and pain. This little 'device' has literally made my year!! The entire office at Pearl District Dental is the best dental establishment I have ever been too. The environment and treatments are second to none, I would highly recommend this dental office to everyone I know. And for anyone suffering with the pain due to teeth clenching - the investment of the bite plate is MORE THAN WORTH IT!!!!! Due yourself a favor and go see Dr. Shemali.
